LB, who also has this striped anthro sweater, requested that I remix it again. It is a kind of tricky piece to remix in the winter, because it's cotton, but I figured if I layered it over a dress and button-up, I could keep warm and add a little oomph to the oft-worn loft dress. So here goes, LB, your wish is my command. Speaking of wishes, mine came true and it snowed. Can you tell I am elated? Growing up in California means that every time it snows, I get inappropriately euphoric and leap around in the street like gold is falling from the sky instead of frozen water. Although I hope I never grow out of my snow-love, I do worry that it's scaring the neighbors a little...

Yay for more Anthro cardi. I keep hoping it might get a second cut on the EU site as since you first wore it (day 2?) I've been coveting it. Not for £49.95 though.

I truly hate snow, it causes chaos in the UK as we don't get tonnes of it too often. It snowed last night, 5-6 inches where I live which to me is A LOT. Certainly enough to make me wish I had a tobogan rather than a car to get to work in....

You look great! I love these pictures, you look so happy about the snow! I'm kind of surprised you have snow before we do - you were still wearing bare legs long after I stopped, but it still hasn't snowed here. Booo.

This is so cute! My sister moved to the Midwest and this will be her second winter there. She gets just as excited as you (we aren't from California, but Florida so we're not used to snow either!) and she called us to tell us about the first snow fall. I imagine it makes winter about 10x more exciting! :)

I also tend to get euphoric every time it snows, as growing up in Portland, it usually just rains from the end of November through the end of April.

We lived in Lithuania for a year, and there, I would get excited and need to go play in the snow every time it started snowing again, even though the last batch of snow hadn't melted, because I still had that instinct that if it snows, you'd better go play in it because it will be gone within hours.

This color combination is great, and I love the white cuffs rolled up over the cardigan sleeves.

Adorable. I have a question for you, something I have wondered for a while now. I teach 8th graders (and want to teach high schoolers), and being so young, I feel I need to dress more professionally than I normally would. I need to set myself apart from them, I need to be respected, and I need to be professional. Our jobs are different. You are both a student and a teacher, and generally, college professors can where whatever they want. They set the rules. Basically, you dress more casually then I do for teaching, which is not a criticism, and I have to be more careful about skirt length. So my question is, how does your job affect what you wear? Did it change when you started teaching?

hey erin! i have an answer to that question, but it's a bit long for a comment--maybe you could ask on my formspring (http://www.formspring.me/nerdwear) because i think it's something other people would like to know, too! xo

Man, I love you in bright colors! You're such a pretty, joyous lady! I wish it would snow here already. We typically only get a few inches a year, but two winters ago, it snowed about 4ft! I'm hoping for the same, just as long as it doesn't interfere with the little babe getting here.

I never comment but just wanted to tell you that I think you have really grown into your look this 30 for 30 - and I don't mean that in a patronising way at all, just that you are wearing consistently LOVELY outfits in a very individual style (that I occasionally shamelessly steal) :-)

When it snowed in Seattle last week I sat in the window with the most ridiculous grin on my face for a good hour with people walking infront of the house trying to see what the heck I was doing out of their peripheral vision.

Lol @ gold is falling from the sky. I have a much less charitable feeling about snow. And how you take these pics without a coat? DEDICATION. I can do a version of this outfit myself! Woohoo! I love getting ideas from you guys. In that belted scarf pic how the heck do you and Sydney get the scarf to look so full!!!

you look lovely! that cardigan is fantastic, and you;re right, it can be tricky to work in the winter but you're rocking it.

there's something about the detailing that reminds me of nutcrackers, thus making it holiday appropriate! you should wear it with some winter white wide leg pants, make it nutcracker chic. haha

also jealous of your snow love. i am a midwestern girl currently residing in la but my love for snow has never stopped, unless of course, my car is buried underneath it and its way too cold to dig it out.

aw, sophie, thank you so much!! that is really sweet of you to say.and @izabela and maura--i was okay with the shoes because i didn't have far to walk in them. if it was super snowy (i.e. more than just a sprinkling), i would definitely be wearing boots :)

Hello! I love this sweater and I would like to get your take on it. My local Anthro doesn't have it anymore so I can't try it it on. What size did you get? According to some reviews it runs small but other ones said it runs TTS.
